Am I happy about this appointment?

Don't know yet. When he stands before the cameras in full view of the people that put their money towards this club and delivers a clear, realistic vision for the future direction of the club with specific KPIs, recommendations and vision (ie not "We want to get back to where we belong"), then I might be happy about it.

If I hear the same old twaddle and rhetoric, that will be a different story.

Yeah, I knew about this too, definitely a negative.

No big deal in my eyes.

Yep..lets ignore the constitution....

Well, it depends. It was at a time when the club was in a bad financial state. If you as a quite wealthy hedge fund manager (he was at the time) cant be arsed to even put in for a full membership financially..... Does not look good in my book. But we have to agree to disagree (I actually like Tom - but this issue has always stuck with me).

Maybe he was protesting about the board that took his dad's name off the stand and wouldn't allow him at club functions.

But he wanted to join the same Board?

I had no idea he works with Anthony Di Pietro... there's a growing band of of VIctory fans that want his head... things like searching the world for a coach and appointing the the guy in the next office


As for Tom Elliot... love to hear what he stands for and if he bothered to buy a membership this time round.

Tom is an intelligent thoughtful successful man who understands the modern age I believe.
So probably not Carlton board material.

I've done work for his brother(?), who is the director of Banco Group (they're the ones responsible for the redevelopment of Smith St between the old Post Office and Peel Street). If they're cut from the same cloth, then I doubt Mark would be the type to be nice about things and feel all gooey inside.

Might have to listen in. I have avoided all media this week (and the last 3 weeks) but this might be worth listening to.

Doesn't seem too interested. Not even in a "lets wait and see" kind of way.

Passionate Carlton man, but no designs on the presidency.

Haha... don't be so sure...

May very well be wrong, no issue with that. I don't know, his vibe was very reserved.

Caro kept throwing Fraser Brown's name about. Going to get interesting.

I have continued my usual ritual of listening to sports radio first thing in the morning for an hour and for about 2 hours before bed. Not one single mention of Carlton....on ESPN New York 98.7 fm
